Twin cities

The city Le Havre is situated in the heart of the Normandy. With its port, the city is the gateway between the North Sea and the Atlantic. Thanks to its vividness and world heritage architecture, Le Havre is a seaside resort with charm. A lot of connecting factors are starting points for this town twinning relationship in Europe.

Harbin is the "Ice City" as well as the Summer Capital full of charme but completely different like everything in China. Despite being separated by a distance of approx. 7500km, the two cities are united by the twinning agreement. This partnership gives Magdeburg the chance to familiarise itself with a foreign Eastern culture.

The foundations of this city twinning partnership were laid by economic connections between the two cities. It is proving to be an exciting challenge to get to know and understand the East Ukrainian city.

Magdeburg and Braunschweig were twin cities even before German reunification. There are links between the cities as a result of their rivers and harbours. Since the completion of the Mittelland Canal, the cities are directly connected by water.

The promising city twinning partnership between Magdeburg and Sarajevo is Magdeburg's oldest partnership and has experienced many highlights since it began. It has, however, also had to overcome several devastating low points, above all the Bosnian War during the 1990s.
